**Hi. I’m basically a tiny velvet hippo with legs.**

I’m about 4 months old, and I was found abandoned on a rural ranch—which sounds sad, but don’t worry… I’ve decided my life story is actually a glow-up story.

I’m expected to be around 45–50 lbs when I grow up, so right now I’m in my “perfectly portable but still squishy” phase. Also important: my coat is ridiculously soft. Like… *velvet soft*. People can’t stop petting me, and honestly? I support that.

**Here’s what you should know about me:**
• **Velvet Queen** – pet me once and you’ll understand
• **Food Motivated Scholar** – I will learn *anything* for snacks. Sit? Yes. Stay? Probably. Taxes? Let’s talk treats.
• **Dog-Friendly** – I love having buddies to play with
• **Cat Approved** – yes, I can coexist with the mysterious house tigers
• **People Lover** – I come pre-installed with affection for everyone
• **Playful + Sweet** – I’ve got zoomies *and* snuggles

I’m still a baby, so I’m learning all the good house manners, but I’m smart, eager, and very into positive reinforcement (especially if it’s edible).

**My dream home:**
Someone who wants a loyal, loving, slightly goofy best friend and doesn’t mind having a soft little shadow following them around.

If you’re looking for a sweet, social pup with a heart of gold and a coat you’ll never stop touching… I’m your girl.

Apply now. I’m cute and I know it. 🐾
